The hero of this series is Jack Reacher. Lets get it straight at the start of the review. He is a man’s hero and a woman’s dream man. No nonsense, less emotions, less of mushy wooshy stuff.  Tough exterior, good looking in a rugged way. Drifter, who doesn’t have any strings, nor any loose ends. Retired trained Military police, or in his own words: the man who keeps trained killing machines in check and order. Absolute expert in weapons and martial arts. Doesn’t fight often, but when he fights you have to call in the insurance people…. for the place and the people. Do I have your attention?

But will his drifting itself land him in trouble? Two women are found murdered, naked, in their own homes, in a bath tub full of paint. Both of them are army personnel. Both were murdered apparently by a man they knew well. Both knew Jack Reacher well. Both were murdered by someone with a score to settle, a trained and ruthless killer…. like Jack Reacher.

Will Jack be able to solve this mystery. Or will he get pulled into the mire of controversy and speculation. Will he be able to stop the killer before he strikes again? Will Jack avenge these slain ladies? What will happen when Jack confronts a ruthless, trained killer…. just like him?

An absolute must read, a buy to be treasured, action packed thriller.

The book : One Shot is now a major motion picture starring Tom Cruise.
